Update: Ibotta has now added a rule where this can only be used once every 12 hours. Hat tip to reader Ryan H

 

Our Verdict

Unfortunately this offer doesn’t seem to be showing up for everybody. This isn’t enough to get me to use Uber any more or less, but it’s an easy $1 if I remember to click the button. I wonder if this works for people with Uber Plus passes. If you don’t already have an Ibotta account you can use my referral link and you’ll get $10 for joining (I’ll also receive $5 and a bonus $15 if I refer three people). Really appreciate you using my link if you do decide to sign up.

  • I seen the offer and now it’s gone, I don’t know how to get it, can you help.

  • This would have been sweet while we were in South Africa with most of the many trips we took were under $3.50 (except our trip to the airport). But probably its only good on US trips.

  • DOSH is offering 80c when you click through Dosh but I pay with Uber cash so it does not work for me. Ibotta does not care my payment method

  • I didn't have the Uber offer when I first signed up last year, but it showed up a couple months later and has been there even since. Maybe it shows up only after you've been an Ibotta user for a while...?

  • I've had this offer for a long time, and it almost never tracks anymore. Is there a limit on it besides the 1/ 12hours? They told me I needed to have screen shots and other verification for every ride :(

    • I've been having the 75 cents offer on my Ibotta app continuously for the past 6 months. Every ride used to track for me instantly and then about 3 months ago it just stopped. Now every few weeks I need to contact customer service and provide screen shots of my rides. I do 10 screenshots at a time. It is a royal pain but I do get the money credited to my account.

    • You use any adblockers? That kills everything for me, even if Ibotta shows it tracked properly.
